The Voyager 1 spacecraft took this crescent view of Titan on November 13, 1980. The opaque orange colored haze, believed to be composed of photochemically produced hydrocarbons, prevented the spacecraft from seeing Titan's surface. Titan is the largest moon of Saturn and the second largest moon in the solar system, rivaled only by Jupiter's moon Ganymede.
